You can also get this effect by using the "spot metering" option on your camera. Instead of allowing the camera to expose the entire scene (which usually means exposing for the background and putting the subject in relative darkness) it will expose for the center of the frame (subjects face) and cause the over exposure in the background. Can be a nice affect as shown above.
